Rangers - Ufa Prediction, Picks and Tips
It is from the 2011-2012 season that the Rangers could once again reach the group stage of a European tournament. The team is in the last straight line to reach that goal, but is it possible for them to eliminate Russian Ufa?
Since this season, Steven Gerrard is the head of the Rangers. This ensures that the team is followed with a little more attention by mainly English-language media. It may be said that Stevie G leaves a good impression in his debut year as a coach. The team survived three preliminaries in the Europa League and started with a 4 out of 6 in the competition. Last weekend they went, in the Scottish Cup, with 1-3 win on the field of Kilmarnock. The three goals were made by young Colombian Morelos. He stands for the year of confirmation and if he knows how to perform consistently, he can teach the Rangers a lot this season. What is striking about the course of the Rangers in the preliminaries are the low number of goals. Steven Gerrard has ensured that there is a good organization between the lines and skipper James Tavernier plays an important role in this. A big disappointment this weekend was the failure of winger Jamie Murphy. He fell on the artificial lawn of Kilmarnock with a knee injury and is out for a long time.
Ufa FC has already survived two preliminary rounds. Twice they crawled through the eye of the needle. In the second preliminary round they were against the Slovenian Domzale on the verge of elimination. After the 0-0 in the first leg, Ufa 1-0 was in debt until Jokic scored the redeeming equalizer in the 87th minute. In the third preliminary round one could narrowly avoid extra time against the Luxembourg Niederkorn because Paurevic scored the important equalizer in the added one, which led to qualifying. In the competition Ufa FC has a hard time. After four match days the 11th with four points. On Monday, there was no chance at all on the field of Dinamo Moscow with 3-0. On Sunday they receive top-class Zenit Sint Petersburg in-house. It may be clear that it will be a tough week for them.
